Kitchenaid Dryer Drive Motor
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool

The Dryer Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This motor is the heart of the dryer, responsible for turning the drum and enabling the air to circulate properly throughout the machine.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drive Motor include:

  • The dryer not starting when the start button is pressed
  • Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing
  • The dryer stopping unexpectedly during cycles
  • A burning smell coming from the dryer

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You High pitched squeal: maybe a roller wheel maybe a bad felt bearing on drum maybe a rubbing fan wheel or just a burned out motor!   Bruce K. • Pikeville , KY • September 06, 2014

My 12 year old Kenmore dryer problem started about 3 years ago with the motor just stopping. My thing was: I would turn it off and turn the drum by hand about halfway around and it would work again.

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Motor would not start when start button pressed for one second lights up and hear motor solenoid click but no start   Anthony Y. • Kaneohe , HI • October 11, 2014

Checked thermal fuse, belt pulley switch, door switch, and motor windings (primary 2.3 ohms start 2,2 ohms). Called Appliance Pros, told them my problem. They said that it appears to be the motor even though the ohm readings seam Ok and that I could return the motor if it was not the problem. I ordred the motor and blower wheel. Installed the new motor and everything worked! The only difficult part was that the motor blower had to be chiseled out. Their motor repair video was a great help. Read more
